Life
Holy New Martyr John Pryakhin was born in 1880 and died in 1942, in the Kemerovo region of Siberia, in the years of persecution against the Russian Church. The sources at hand do not preserve details of his life, arrest and death.
The Church counts him among the new martyrs of Russia, those who confessed Christ in the time of the atheist regime and died in prisons and camps.
